I discovered When Calls the Heart on Netflix last year and fell fast in love, binge-watching. I was so excited to find this devotional. It did not disappoint! Each devotion focused on an episode from the show, with a Scripture, a prayer, and a question for the reader to think about. The devotions were short and applicable to daily life. Highly recommend for anyone wanting to get into the Word every day.

When GOD Calls The Heart Is a unique devotional. It uses scenes from the show to give examples for their subject of that day. Then they give You a Prayer from the heart. Then they ask you some questions - questions like - What is on your heart? This is a very special devotional - I felt special reading it. It is not a hit-and-run devotional - they spend some time with you. It is unique and sweet.

This is a beautifully written book full of inspiration. You don't have to know the TV show to enjoy this book, but it does add to the enjoyment if you are a fan. A wonderful book to read a little daily.

Having thoroughly enjoyed the Christian-centric TV series, When Calls The Heart, I picked up this devotional book knowing it would be full of hope. Each day’s reading begins with a Bible verse and a quote from a character in the show. Reflecting back on an episode, the book then walks through that story outline highlighting God’s role and making the story relevant to the reader for example, on day 2, it asks “What is your collapsed coal mine? What eviction notices have been tacked up on your door? What situation right now feels so overwhelming that you don’t think you can get through it?” Guidance is shared along with a prayer. My favourite section is the last one “What’s on your heart today”, three questions asking how to live out that day’s devotion. I loved this paragraph:

“That’s life for all of us. God doesn’t promise perpetual happy endings. But he does promise “when you pass through the waters, they will not sweep over you” (Isaiah 43:2). Notice it doesn’t say if we pass through the waters, but when we do. Do when storm clouds are threatening, and we feel like running away like Cody, remember that God will recognize our needs and meet them. He allows the storms. Without them, we would never have the blessing of His provision. And remember, He’s also the God of blue skies, sunrises, and rainbows…especially rainbows.”

If you haven’t watched the series, the opening stories won’t feel relevant but if you are a fan of it, this book is for you! Four out of five for me!

When God Calls the Heart is exactly what I was looking for in a devotional: lighthearted enough to remind me of the joy of following God & joining in on this adventure He calls all of us to, but also full of truth. Hope is really at the core of everything and everyone in Hope Valley and each day's devotion is a reminder to live the same way. For fans of the show, returning to this vibrant small town will be a delight, while newcomers to the valley will fall in love with the characters, finding both them and their struggles real, honest and relatable. With sincerity and kindness, When God Calls the Heart inspires readers to live with an uncommon hope that grows faith in hard times and produces real joy and thankfulness when life is good.

Enjoy the the parallel of When Calls the Heart to When God Calls the Heart. Brian and Michelle have put together a wonderful devotional book. Will continue to read this daily.

I am sorry, I love the show but I just cannot recommend this book. Each devotional has short summary of an incident that occurred during the show, Followed by a prayer that the Bible quote and a quote from one of the stars. I really like the prayer – enough said.

Loved the Hallmark movies When Called the Heart and enjoyed the book with beautiful devotionals. Gave you informational about the show and explained the meaning with a inspirational devotion. Very nice
